Download and install the cisco-global-exploiter package from Github
To use this tool, type “cge.pl IPaddress number of vulnerability”
The following screenshot shows the result of the test performed on Cisco router for the vulnerability number 3 from the list above. The result shows the vulnerability was successfully exploited.
Cisco Auditing Tool
It is a PERL script, which scans Cisco routers for common vulnerabilities. To use it, again open the terminal on the left pane as shown in the previous section and type “CAT –h hostname or IP”.
Download Cisco Auditing Tool Clone from GitHub
root@kali:~# CAT
Cisco Auditing Tool – g0ne [null0]
Usage:
-h hostname (for scanning single hosts)
-f hostfile (for scanning multiple hosts)
-p port # (default port is 23)
-w wordlist (wordlist for community name guessing)
-a passlist (wordlist for password guessing)
-i [ioshist] (Check for IOS History bug)
-l logfile (file to log to, default screen)
-q quiet mode (no screen output)
You can add the port parameter “-p” as shown in the following screenshot, which in this case is 23 to brute-force it.
Scan the host (-h 10.22.21.1) on port 23 (-p 23), using a password dictionary file (-a /usr/share/wordlists/nmap.lst):
Note:
Please only use this to exploit your own Cisco router and make sure you do not use it to exploit your local library’s Cisco router because We did use it against our local library’s Cisco router and it caused the library’s Internet to shutdown and remain disconnected for more than ten minutes!
